Yeah, can’t quite claim the new C8F was what I had (I think it was the original C8F, but I’m not sure; something bright, maybe my F13, can’t recall), but I had some jackass try to squeeze a 12’ minivan into a 13’ spot in front of my car. Needless to say, unsuccessfully.
Two women were outside on the sidewalk watching his attempts, and this joker keeps parking-by-braille and rapping my front bumper, ’though not terribly hard. I’m watching at the screen door, just shaking my head. After the 3rd-4th attempt, I go, “Okay, clearly, this is not working…”, and the women turn and see me, horrified. One knocks on the side window to get his attention. Nope, one more attempt.
Bam! Hits my bumper good. “Okay… ENOUGH!”, and I come outside and light up the inside of his minivan with my light. Like, daylight. He pauses, then drives off(!), leaving the two women behind to go chasing after him.
So I definitely see the appeal of lighting up these bozos.

And agreed, Ms DrinksALot was probably half-’faced. Same idjits who’d drive into someone’s pool, use the off-ramp to drive the wrong way on the highway, etc. 20/20 hindsight, I know, but I definitely would’ve gotten her plate and called it in.
I don’t like ratting out anyone, but I wouldn’t want it on my conscience if one of those would go head-on with a family of 4 on their way home from auntie’s house, or a waitress just coming off-shift, etc.
